# NAME

catan, catanf, catanl — complex arc tangent functions

# SYNOPSIS

#include <complex.h>

double complex
catan(double complex z);

float complex
catanf(float complex z);

long double complex
catanl(long double complex z);

# DESCRIPTION

These functions compute the complex arc tangent of z, with branch cuts outside the interval [- i, +i] along the imaginary axis.

# RETURN VALUES

These functions return the complex arc tangent value, in the range of a strip mathematically unbounded along the imaginary axis and in the interval [-pi/2, +pi/2] along the real axis.

# ERRORS

No errors are defined.
